Compared with a new unit, this is plainly the more sensible way into the Pre Box S2 Digital; at kr 1,700, it sits well below the kr 2,256 median of recent used SEK listings and even under the kr 1,503 25th percentile only by a small margin, so this reads as a good buy rather than a stretch. It is not bargain-bin crazy, but it is comfortably on the buyer-friendly side of the market.
What makes it worth chasing is the usual Pro-Ject appeal: a compact, well-regarded digital preamp/DAC that gives a tidy, resolving upgrade path for a desktop or secondary system without taking much space. At this price, the main things to confirm are simple: that the unit powers up cleanly, all inputs work, and any original remote, PSU, or accessories are included if relevant.

Pro-Ject Audio Systems traces its roots to 1991 in Austria's Weinviertel region, north of Vienna, where founder Heinz Lichtenegger launched the brand amid the CD revolution. Kicked out of music school as a youth, Lichtenegger channeled his passion for analog sound into affordable, high-quality turntables at a time when vinyl seemed obsolete. His debut Pro-Ject 1, hand-assembled in the Czech Republic, earned rave reviews as a top high-end device, igniting a success story that relocated headquarters to Vienna before returning to Mistelbach in Lower Austria.
The brand excels in turntables, establishing itself as the world's largest and leading producer in that category, while expanding into a full spectrum of hi-fi components since 2000. Offerings include amplifiers, DACs, headphone amps, speakers, cables, and phono stages, all emphasizing essential sound reproduction with durable materials and minimalist design. Manufacturing remains European—primarily in Czechia, Slovakia, and Germany—prioritizing sustainability through local sourcing, short transport, and products built for longevity.
Pro-Ject holds a commanding niche as the go-to for mid-tier audiophiles seeking boutique European craftsmanship without extravagant pricing. Distributed in over 80 countries, it appeals to vinyl revivalists and discerning buyers who value analog purity, innovation, and value-driven performance over flashy excess, cementing its reputation as a pioneer in accessible high-fidelity.
